1964 Map of West Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Bighorn National Forest dominates this landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of Sheridan County meets a complex network of seasonal drainages and cattle ranges. The map reveals a land defined by its ranching heritage, with Fuller Ranch and Kern Ranch situated near the northern drainages of Red Gulch and Gay Creek. To the south, the topography rises sharply toward Dry Fork Ridge and the eponymous West Pass, a region marked by vital water sources like Lake Creek and various Springs. The inclusion of Winter Pasture and designated Cow Camp locations highlights the seasonal movement of livestock through these highlands. A web of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails provides the only access through the steep drainages of the Dry Fork and its numerous forks, showing a region that remained largely primitive and focused on grazing and timber well into the mid-1960s.
